Lets talk about tigers

Talk Like Tigers are a hypnotic electro-pop band from the North East of England. The band are twin sisters, Charlotte and Stephanie, whose vocals and seamless, velvet harmonies have been recorded by Sony and have taken them around the world as professional touring musicians. Their travels influence their music and inspire their songwriting.

Their sound is a dreamy alternative pop in which inventive lyrics paint vivid images, and their powerful harmonies weave together to create a visceral other worldliness. Mixing acoustic instruments with synths, their soundscapes are glittered with quirky rhythms and infectious hooks.

Talk Like Tigers live performances pop with vocal harmonies as they switch between synths, guitar, drum pads and vocal effects. As they charm the audience they bring a new dimension to their recordings.

After attracting the attention of BBC Music, Talk Like Tigers recorded a live BBC Introducing session and have been played on BBC Radio 1 by Huw Stephens.

They have played live alongside Polo, Leah McFall, The Lake Poets, Another Sky and Frankie and The Heartstrings. Talk Like Tigers have played festivals including Evolution Emerging and Lindisfarne Festival on the BBC Introducing Stage, as well as renowned venues such as the O2 Academy Newcastle and Sage Gateshead. In the summer, Talk like Tigers were selected to complete a Summer Studio Residency at Sage Gateshead.

After seeing Talk Like Tigers perform at the Sage as part of the Great Exhibition of the North recently, Tom Robinson premiered their brand new song, FRUIT, on BBC 6 Music proclaiming that Talk Like Tigers' "singing, songs and stage presence absolutely blew me away at Sage Gateshead." Nick Roberts is also supporting FRUIT with radio play on BBC Introducing in the North East, as well as BBC Tees.

"A fabulous track from Talk Like Tigers. One of the new wave of North East pop acts." Nick Roberts, BBC Introducing

"Are you up to speed with Newcastle twins Charlotte and Stephanie yet? You should be, particularly if you like electro pop with plenty of invention behind it. Tropical is an utter delight, a mid-tempo groover that is nicely stripped back and given plenty of air to breathe...displaying more creativity in one track than some bands manage over an entire album…It Isn’t Over...is another fine string to Talk Like Tigers’ already impressive bow… Fabulous harmonies and danceable hooks that go off like roman candles.” The Crack Magazine

"Talk Like Tigers are well on their way to becoming one of this year's most promising acts." Wonky Sensitive

"Electro Pop at its best!! Go and buy 'Gunning' NOW!"Libby Walker, Mkfm Radio

"So much talent!" Shell Zenner, Amazing Radio

“Their first full EP, a four-track self-titled effort that marks their most confident and rounded statement yet... the twins behind Talk Like Tigers can look on their new EP and launch gig as another milestone in their aim to break through the glass ceiling… Animalistic is a hefty chunk of polished electro pop that's also just a little bit dirty - a taut, sensuous, almost flawlessly constructed pop gem that the likes of Robyn would be proud of.'' Narc Magazine

''Talk Like Tigers roar loudly as the duo embark on an impressive journey into superstardom... The dazzling 'Gunning' video is a page ripped straight out of the Tron playbook, doused with laser beams and memerizing slow-motion intensity.''Popdust

"I’m surprised it wasn’t recommended to me on my Spotify Discover Weekly playlist with it’s great synth beat and Robyn-esque vocals...either way, everyone should definitely be watching this band grow." Rhyme Et Reason
